Detailed Description

Abstract parent class of any action that can be performed.

Synopsis

Any editing change to the underlying table should be encapsulated in a TBAction. A TBAction subclass needs to be able to perform the designated action as well as knowing how to undo it. The specific implementation of performing the action is left up to the subclasses.

Member Function Documentation

virtual Result casa::TBAction::doAction ( )

pure virtual

doAction() must be implemented by any subclass.

This method performs the action, updating both the backend and the GUI as necessary.

Implemented in casa::TBEditArrayDataAction, and casa::TBEditDataAction.

void* casa::TBAction::getOrigin ( )

Returns a pointer to the origin object.

virtual bool casa::TBAction::isAssociatedWith ( void * origin )

pure virtual

isAssociatedWith() must be implemented by any subclass.

This method returns true if this action is associated with the given origin object, false otherwise. If an action is associated with an object that is then closed (like a table or an array) then the action may be removed from the performed/undone queues.

Implemented in casa::TBEditArrayDataAction, and casa::TBEditDataAction.

virtual casacore::String casa::TBAction::name ( )

pure virtual

name() must be implemented by any subclass.

This method returns the name of the action. The name should be human-readable and does not have to be any specific format.

Implemented in casa::TBEditArrayDataAction, and casa::TBEditDataAction.

virtual Result casa::TBAction::undoAction ( )

pure virtual

undoAction() must be implemented by any subclass.

This method undoes the action, updating both the backend and the GUI as necessary.

Implemented in casa::TBEditArrayDataAction, and casa::TBEditDataAction.
